You’re here, thank you and welcome.

Dena Hurst, Ph.D.
Medical Qigong Practitioner & Certified Master Face Reader

I have followed my heart to education and apprenticeships in Chinese medicine.
My first step was to complete nearly 1,000 hours of study in the principles of Chinese medicine through the Beijing Mebo Traditional Chinese Medicine Training Institute as well as training in Chinese herbal medicine from the Institute of Chinese Herbology. The understanding of theory led me to pursue certifications in non-invasive diagnosis and treatment modalities.

I am an Advanced Medical Qigong Practitioner certified through Red Thread Institute. Medical Qigong techniques are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focus on the deepest root of health issues by applying evidence-based protocols to move Qi, release stagnation, and allow the body to heal to its potential. 

I am a Certified Master Face Reader in the Chen lineage, instructed by Lilian Chen Bridges and certified through Lotus Institute. I am currently the sole student of Dr. Han Chul Lee, a licensed acupuncturist based in South Korea and Canada, studying a proprietary method of diagnosis, food therapy, and treatment based on energy types. This training is done in the traditional manner of oral teaching passed from master to student.

My goal is to use all my knowledge and skills to help you regain balance and be your healthiest self. I enjoy working with people who are ready to transform their health and life, find their path, and manifest their true creative abilities. I am an empathetic listener and perceptive observer. I create a safe space for you to heal, transform, and be who you are intended to be.
